Which model of acids and bases would NOT define NH3 as a base (even though it is considered one by the other models)?

Chemistry

Answer:

<em>The correct option is A) Arrhenius</em>

Explanation:

According to the Arrhenius concept of acids and bases, an acid must produce H+ ions when it is present in a solution and the base must produce OH- ions when placed in a solution.

Ammonia does not contain OH- ions of its own when dissolved in water.

The reaction of ammonia dissolving is water can be written as:

NH3     +    H2O     ⇌   NH4+ + OH−

As we can see from the equation, ammonia does form OH- ions but it does not have OH- ions on its own.

Hence, according to the Arrhenius concept, NH3 is not a base.

Find the percent ionization of a 0.337 m hf solution. the ka for hf is 3.5 x 10-4. 1.1 % 1.2 x 10-2 % 3.2 % 3.5 x 10-2 % 4.7 %
Ugo [173]

To determine the percent ionization of the acid given, we make use of the acid equilibrium constant (Ka) given. It is the ration of the equilibrium concentrations of the dissociated ions and the acid. The dissociation reaction of the HF acid would be as follows:<span>

HF = H+ + F-

The acid equilibrum constant would be expressed as follows:

Ka = [H+][F-] / [HF] = 3.5 x 10-4

To determine the equilibrium concentrations we use the ICE table,
         HF             H+              F-
I      0.337           0                 0
C      -x              +x               +x
---------------------------------------------
E    0.337-x        x                   x 

3.5 x 10-4 = [H+][F-] / [HF] 
3.5 x 10-4 = [x][x] / [0.337-x] </span>

Solving for x,

x = 0.01069 = [H+] = [F-]

percent ionization = 0.01069 / 0.337 x 100  = 3.17%
